Chapter 92: The Wandering Travel Group (Twenty-three)
Ah Hua stopped talking here.
It seemed that she knew what was going to happen next, as Nan Huan and Bei Xi had already seen it. It also seemed that she still couldn't get over the news of A Liu's departure, so she was unwilling to talk about it more.
"So you said so much, are you trying to say that you had no choice and that the decisions you made were forced, and you want her to forgive you and stay here with you forever?"
Bei Xi had no patience and didn't want to listen to Ahua's stories anymore.
She did not forget that the system's tip for this side quest was not to believe what the shadow said.
Although in the illusion she and Nan Huan experienced, the 'Nan Huan' and 'Bei Xi' they met did not quite match the system's prompt.
One can't help but wonder if there is something wrong with the system prompt.
But Bei Xi did not ignore the fact that if the system's prompt was correct, if this shadow was not a broad reference, but a specific one, like the nine shadows in front of him.
A Liu was at the scene, and Bei Xi felt that A Hua would not tell any lies, but what if she did not tell everything, or perhaps embellished some parts?
This is all possible, so Bei Xi never let her guard down while the other party was trying to communicate her own mental journey with them.
The current situation is a little unclear, because they have clearly found Jiuying, but the system prompt sound has not sounded.
Because of Beixi's question, Nanhuan also focused his attention on Ahua.
The latter answered with silence and turned her gaze back to A Liu. Coincidentally, the other party was also looking at her at this time, with a bit more doubt and scrutiny in his eyes.
Ah Hua ignored the other person's gaze, or rather, avoided the other person's gaze. He suddenly got back to the point and asked Nan Huan and Bei Xi, "Give her body back to me."
Maybe it was because A Liu had seen through that this was an illusion, so she didn't care about anything else and was ready to use the other person's body to make him stay here forever.
She didn't care whether A Liu was willing or not, she just wanted the answer she had always dreamed of.
"System, system, don't pretend to be dead at the critical moment. We have completed the side quest and found Jiuying. Why hasn't the side quest been completed yet?"
Ahua is the main NPC in this dungeon. Even though Nanhuan and Beixi are both very strong, she still has no intention of taking the initiative to engage in a head-on battle with them.
So at the moment the other party spoke, Nan Huan desperately shouted at the system in his mind, hoping to get some response.
But to her disappointment, her cries were like a drop of water sinking into the ocean, with no response at all.
"If she doesn't want to stay here, we will take her away from Fengmenling."
Bei Xi took two steps forward, and with a flick of her right hand, a mechanical crossbow appeared in her hand. She blocked Nan Huan and A Liu behind her, taking a defensive stance, her tone calm without any disturbance.
She did not say that Nan Huan had agreed to take A Liu away from here, but only said that the other party was unwilling to stay here.
The unspoken subtext was that as long as A Liu didn't want to stay here, the two would help no matter how difficult it was.
But when Ah Hua heard this, he took a few steps forward anxiously, "She can only survive in this state if she stays here. Besides, you can't get out of Fengmenling by yourself. You still want to take her away, which is simply a burden to her."
Unlike when she was telling the story just now, Ah Hua was in a relatively calm state of mind. But when it came to this issue, she became unusually serious.
Without waiting for Bei Xi to answer, he turned to A Liu and said, "Even if you are still angry with me, it is not easy for me to see you. I will not give up and watch you disappear again."
"Now that we have this opportunity, we can both live here forever. What's wrong with that?" I don't know if it was Bei Xi's words that made Ahua feel a sense of crisis, her tone was much more anxious than before.
"I really know I was wrong. I will never abandon you again. I will always be with you. Can you just trust me again?"
Ah Hua realized that his tone was too anxious, and tried his best to impress Ah Liu with a sincere expression.
Unfortunately, A Liu bleeds so much that he doesn't leave any room for the opponent.
"I'm already dead."
There was no expression on Liu's face. Although she had restored her original body here, she knew in her heart that this was an illusion.
"The past has already happened. When we look back at some endings, we find that they were already destined from the beginning."
As she spoke, her eyes were always on Ahua, as if she was trying to catch something from his face.
But after a while, all I saw was the other party's deep disappointment, and a look as if he had made up his mind.
"No matter what you say, I won't let you leave."
She was silent for a while, as if she disagreed with what A Liu said, but she did not refute him, but just made her own conclusion.
Then he shifted his gaze to Bei Xi, and his eyes instantly became more sharp.
"If you return her body to me, you can leave here immediately. If you don't want to, don't blame me for being rude. Anyway, you won't survive in this copy for long. It's just a matter of time."
She repeated it again, seeming very certain that Nan Huan and Bei Xi could not get out of this copy.
Bei Xi frowned, not because of the other party's harsh words, but because she seemed to sense some kind of conspiracy from the information she mentioned.
Regardless of whether it is because there is no mention of such a plot in the side quest.
Or maybe it was simply because the two of them had made a promise over A Liu's corpse, so Bei Xi did not back down.
The two stood facing each other like this, neither of them made the first move. It seemed that they were both waiting for the other to make a flaw, or wanted to test each other's abilities first.
Nan Huan had already walked to A Liu's side and said, "Don't worry, as long as you don't want to stay here, no one can force you."
The wings behind her have been revealed. Although it is not clear how strong Ahua's ability is, in order to avoid being accidentally injured in the fight later, or the other party using some tricks to get close to Aliu.
So Nanhuan was well prepared. When the situation became unfavorable, he would take the opponent out of the danger zone first.
But A Liu's attention did not seem to be on her own safety, and she never doubted that Nan Huan and Bei Xi would choose to hand her over for their own safety.
He just frowned and explained to Nan Huan, "There's something wrong with her..."
However, just as it started, Nanhuan heard the voice of the system.
【bite--
Congratulations to the player for completing the side quest...
Warning, system intrusion detected...
Warning, the side quest map is being modified...
Warning, the system has been locked and will be forced to sleep in five seconds.
5, 4, 3, 2, 1】
After finally hearing the system sound, Nan Huan thought it had returned to normal. He never expected that after waiting for such a long time, this would be the result.
What does it mean that the system has been hacked?
Also, what does it mean that the side map has been modified?
But these questions have already been answered, because after the countdown ended, the system fell into endless silence.
No matter what Nan Huan called out, there was no response at all.
The good news is that Nan Huan found that although the system was forced to hibernate, the virtual panel was not restricted.
After just a gust of wind, the courtyard became very quiet.
And Ahua seemed to sense something from this silence. Her face suddenly became tense and she ran towards Aliu, as if she wanted to go straight past Beixi.
Bei Xi certainly also heard the voice of the system. At the same time, she could feel that something seemed to be happening in the sky outside the courtyard.
As Ah Hua ran over quickly, there was a look of anxiety on his face, which was completely different from the harsh words he had said a second ago. Bei Xi could feel that the other party suddenly lost his aggressiveness.
"Quick, take her away from here, quick..."
Ahua ran a few steps, then suddenly stopped as if he realized something. He glanced at Aliu from a distance across Nanhuan and Beixi, and moved his lips as if he wanted to say something, but said nothing.
Instead, he suddenly turned around, jumped up, and wanted to leave the courtyard.
Then Nan Huan watched Ah Hua, who was originally wearing a red wedding veil, suddenly transform in mid-air like Sailor Moon, and change from head to toe into the black suit they were familiar with.
The flowing long hair also turned into a black suit. The figure who wanted to leave the courtyard lightly tapped on the eaves and returned to the main house.
In a trance, Ahua turned into Xiao Tao, and even the expression on his face was completely different, as if he was a different person.
The reluctance and persistence towards A Liu on his face had completely disappeared, leaving only a hint of indifference.
But she seemed to have no interest in A Liu at all, and just looked at Nan Huan with burning eyes.
Xiao Tao was very concerned about his appearance. The first thing he did after the transformation was to adjust the earphones on his ears and the loudspeaker on his waist.
Nan Huan watched her movements and realized that it seemed that these two things had never left Xiao Tao's body during the entire journey, except when she was tapped on the shoulder by him and was forced to put on the mask.
Of course, in addition to these two iconic items of tour guides, there is also the little pink flag, which Xiao Tao can’t let go of because she has to lead their team.
But now the small flag has disappeared, and the half of the nameplate that was initially blocked by the loudspeaker has finally been revealed because of its true face, revealing the full name - Tao Hua.
Bei Xi noticed it immediately. The other party looked at Nan Huan with an indescribable weirdness in his eyes.
Nan Huan then remembered that when they were playing the ghost hunting game map, Xiao Tao should have seen A Liu's body, but the other party didn't seem to show any special reaction at that time, just like she is now.
According to what Ah Hua said just now and the information Nan Huan got in the game, Ah Liu's body disappeared for some time. Logically speaking, if Xiao Tao saw the other party's body, he should not be so calm, otherwise how to explain the lives of the entire Fengmenling village.
Did she hide it well, or was there some other hidden story?
At this time, several loud noises were heard in the sky, interrupting their thoughts. Nan Huan finally understood what the system meant by the map being modified in the side quest.
